Yi, I'm Here

It has to be said that this Time Walker named Wang Shuang was indeed unlucky.

This is the Frozen Land in the north. Not only will you not be able to enjoy the fun of being a time traveler, but you'll also have to move stones every day!

Wang Shuang grew up in the sunlit new China; how could he have ever suffered like this? Not only could he not escape, but he also dared not tell others that he was Time Walker.

After explaining to a group of prisoners for a while what Time Walker was, someone suddenly asked curiously, "You've been hiding it pretty well, haven't you? I felt something was off about you before, and when I asked you what was wrong, you said you were sick. So why are you suddenly admitting it now?"

Wang Shuang said, "Qing Chen is also Time Walker, I know him. First of all, things are not as you think, I don't believe he was defeated by the Divine Era."

"Wait a minute, you said Inspector Qingchen is a time traveler? Do the people above the Qing family know about this?" Someone from the Qing family asked in confusion...

"He definitely knows. He's quite famous in the Outer World now. He's a core member of an organization called the Daylight Organization. I know him, but he doesn't know me," Wang Shuang said, recalling the news he saw in the Outer World. "Last night at midnight was the time when all Time Walker traveled through time. You might not have noticed, but Qing Chen and I have actually been in the Outer World for a month."

Wang Shuang continued, "During that month, the Daylight Organization slaughtered over a thousand people, as well as four B-Class core members: Kamishiro Yunjue, Yun Ye, Yun Yi, and Yun Wu, to avenge Qing Chen."

The cell was quiet, and everyone listened as if they were listening to a story. Wang Shuang had opened a door to a New World for them.

"Shh! The people from the Age of Gods are here!" someone warned.

All the prisoners lay back down on their beds in an instant, and the soldiers outside opened the windows in the iron doors and looked inside with flashlights.

After more than ten seconds, it closed again.

Most of the prisoners had lived here for over ten years and knew very well that no soldiers would come to check their quarters tonight. On such a cold night, even the soldiers of the Shindai Dynasty would choose to slack off and hide in the guard room to play cards and sleep.

"Old Li, take your thing out of your pants and use it, so that Shendai doesn't hear what we're saying," someone said.

Old Li, lying on the bed with a blank expression, said, "Give me your sister's photo, and I'll open it."

The person speaking muttered angrily, "Are you even human? I only brought this one photo with me when I came in, tucked inside my clothes!"

"Hey, you surnamed Qing, are you going to give it to me or not?" Old Li said casually, "That's your Qing family's inspector, not our Li family's. I don't want to hear about it."

The Qing clan intelligence agent struggled for a long time before finally saying, "Here you go!"

The man known as Old Li reached into his crotch, pulled out a small black box, and pressed the switch.

What A02 Base has in common with other prisons is that Kamishiro also makes the prisoners do other hard labor. For example, Kamiyo Yunzhi contracted some assembly parts business within the Federation, and then made more than 3,000 people here work day and night to make money for him.

It was around that time that the prisoners accumulated some small items over the years.

The soldiers here are not worried about anyone escaping, as the prisoners are all equipped with GPS trackers. Beyond A02 lies an 800-kilometer-long uninhabited snowfield.

There is no food on the snowy plains in winter, and no one can survive to get out.

Old Li said, "It's open. Tie Dan, you continue to tell us what happened. Everyone else, stay in bed and listen. Don't get up."

Wang Shuang asked, "You want to hear about the affairs of the Outer World?"

"Isn't that obvious? First, tell me what kind of person this Inspector Qing Chen is. How did a Time Walker become the youngest director of the Federal PCA?" someone muttered.

Wang Shuang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the answers to these questions. The Daylight Organization is very mysterious. It's said that the boss of the Daylight Organization is the next generation of knight leader, while Qing Chen is a teacher at the Li Clan Academy and the owner of the Autumn Leaf Villa. Nobody knows anything else. Oh, by the way, some people say that Li Changqing of the Li Family used the Qingshan Aerial Fortress to save him."

Old Li, who had been haggling, was stunned for a moment. "What?! The owner of the Autumn Leaf Villa? Holy crap, why hasn't anyone mentioned this before? This Divine Era has captured our Li family's future imperial tutor and brought him here?!"

Old Li had previously acted as if it were none of his business, but now his face was filled with astonishment.

Now, not only are the Qing family members concerned about Qing Chen, but even the Li family's intelligence agents can't sit still!

The owner of the Autumn Leaf Villa, this thing is a legendary item within the Li family. The head of the family goes to the Autumn Leaf Villa to pay homage every year. Sometimes, when he misses his mentor too much, he will stay there for a while during the full moon of each month.

Moreover, since Li Changqing has already used the Qingshan Hao, it must be genuine.

The people here all come from the military, and they know very well that to use the Qingshan Hao, you need an administrative order issued by the Privy Council, which is something only the head of the family can do!

Old Li lay on the bed. "Wait a minute, my head's a bit fuzzy. A core member of the Qing Clan, Time Walker, why does he also hold such a high position in my Li Clan? This is just not scientific!"

Wang Shuang: "Yeah, I also think it's unscientific... But the unscientific part is yet to come. After Qing Chen was captured this time, all the Time Walker returned. The boss of the Daylight Organization went straight to the territory of the Divine Era, not only blowing up more than ten of their shrines, but also going on a killing spree..."

Wang Shuang continued, "So you think he's been defeated, but my feeling is completely the opposite. Seeing that he's no longer building stone walls and is wolfing down his food, I immediately know he's conserving his strength. There's a saying in the Outer World that goes, 'A mature person will endure humiliation and hardship for a goal.' I think that saying is quite fitting for Qing Chen now."

In fact, the discussion surrounding daylight in the Outer World has far surpassed that of popular celebrities.

Wang Shuang felt it even more keenly. As a Time Walker, he witnessed Qing Chen's tenacity firsthand, watching him fight against the Gods and build stone walls again and again.

Every time Wang Shuang saw all this, he would feel... no wonder they became more powerful than him after becoming Time Walker.

Gu admitted that he couldn't do what Qing Chen had done.

At that moment, Old Li returned the photo of the girl in the next bed, saying in a muffled voice, "I don't want it anymore, it's too hot to handle."

Li's intelligence agents suddenly felt that they were now the ones being gossiped about.

And most importantly, that's a big shot in their Li family! How could they allow him to suffer such humiliation from the Divine Era?!

Old Li said, "Weren't you the one spitting this morning, Li Zhong?"

Li Zhong was taken aback. "Huh?"

Old Li: "Get up and punish yourself with a hundred push-ups."

Li Zhong: "... Okay, but I didn't eat enough tonight, can I owe you seventy?"

Old Li: "No way."

While the Li family members at A02 Base appeared to be loosely organized, they actually maintained a strict hierarchical system based on military rank.

This is also part of their upbringing; the Li family places greater emphasis on order than other conglomerates.

In the Li family, the one in charge is Old Li, Li Cheng.

Just as Li Zhong was doing push-ups, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from outside the prison area.

Everyone quickly lay down.

Suddenly, the gate outside the prison area opened, Kamiyo Yunzhi, wearing a mink cloak, stood outside. "The Winter Hunt has started early. I'll give you two hours to escape. Run as far as you can. If you don't want to run, hide well, or I'll get bored."

All the prisoners were stunned. Why had the Winter Hunt arrived so early?!

Seeing their confusion, Kamiyo Yunzhi smiled and said, "It's all because of Qing Chen. You're the ones who came back alive, so blame him if you have to."

After he finished speaking, hundreds of heavily armed Shindai soldiers rushed into the prison area and used sticks to drive the prisoners to run outside.

Despair appeared on the faces of the prisoners.

Over the years, the A02 secret base has held a Winter Hunt almost every year, and each time thousands of people die.

The four prison wards, which originally housed more than 10,000 people, are now three of them completely empty.

Winter Hunt means death.

The prisoners were driven out into the cold wind, some even barefoot, without having had time to put on shoes.

Inside the pigsty, Qing Chen quietly watched this scene.

During the day Kamiyo Yunzhi said it would be three days later, but tonight he suddenly took action.

There were four days left until the time he planned to begin his operation.

If you want to escape successfully, you should make a sudden move four days later and then rush to your destination as quickly as possible.

Leave.

Or should we take action?

If they stay, their plans will undoubtedly be more perfect.

If they were to take action, it would take even longer between the start and the escape. If they gave Kamishiro time to react, he might not even be able to leave, and his master probably hadn't arrived yet.

However, Qing Chen knew very well what choice he would make.

Qing Chen suddenly stood up from the pigsty and said, "One."

The 24 war robots around him seemed to suddenly come to life, raising their heads to look at Qing Chen and saying in unison, "I'm here."

These are 24 war robots that Shindai just brought out from outside. Qing Chen guesses that they do not belong to the physically isolated network system of the A02 Secret Military Base.

He guessed right.

Qing Chen gazed at the prisoners being led to the icy wilderness, waiting for an opportunity to strike amidst the dozens of Metal Storm machines locked on by the base.
